The aims of dietary management of diabetes mellitus are to optimize control of blood glucose levels, to minimize the risk of hypoglycaemia in those treated with insulin, to achieve weight loss in the obese and to reduce the risk of long-term complications.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, due to accumulating evidence regarding the effects of diet on glucose and lipid metabolism in both diabetics and non diabetics, the Diabetes Associations of several countries reviewed their dietary recommendations. A recommendation common to all countries was an increased carbohydrate intake with a concomitant decrease in fat intake. In contrast, advice regarding the restriction of glucose and glucose containing disaccharides (sucrose and lactose) was unchanged. However, the rationale behind the elimination of sucrose and other simple sugars was questioned and there was a general consensus that the harmful effects of sucrose for diabetics had been exaggerated in the past1".

There are precious few studies of markets in practice – the day-to-day details of how buyers and sellers accomplish a transaction and manage their risks and opportunities. This is a great shame for both researchers and market participants, but also understandable. Gaining access to a market can be a serious challenge, both in terms of being accepted into what is often a closed community known to only a few, and in terms of becoming literate in the complex details of the products, industry, and the way deals are done.
Even more difficult is the effort to compare and contrast across a whole range of different markets in order to uncover unappreciated commonalities or to identify key distinguishing characteristics. And rarer still is the ability to observe markets at their birth, studying their emergence and learning from the successes and failures. Remarkably, we have been provided with just such an opportunity in the attempts in the late 1990’s to build hundreds of new
wholesale business markets online.
